Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Late Victorian silver pill boxes are small personal containers created in the late 19th century, often crafted in symbolic shapes such as hearts or ovals and decorated with detailed repousse scrollwork.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, frequently featuring a gold-washed or vermeil interior to protect the silver metal from oxidation caused by contents.

Authentic British pieces from this era typically display clear hallmarks, including a makers mark, a purity mark such as the lion passant, a town mark, and a specific date letter code.

Small antique silver boxes can be placed on a dressing table, bedside stand, or stacked tray to store small items like rings, or displayed alongside other silver objects.

Clean the silver exterior gently with a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that could strip the delicate gilding on the interior.
